肌内脂肪(intramuscular fat,IMF)含量是评判猪肉品质的关键指标,其可影响猪肉的嫩度、剪切力、多汁性和风味等。微小RNA (microRNA,miRNA)是一类长度约为22 nt的短链非编码RNA,在胚胎发育、成脂分化、肌纤维形成、神经调节、免疫应答等多种生理过程中发挥重要作用。越来越多的研究表明,miRNA在猪肌内脂肪沉积过程中发挥重要调控作用,是脂质代谢的重要调控因子。作者通过归纳国内外关于miRNA调控猪肌内脂肪沉积的相关研究发现,miR-34a、miR-125a-5p、miR-32-5p等通过靶向作用转录因子Krüppel样因子(Krüppel-like factors,KLF)家族成员调控猪肌内脂肪沉积,miR-130a通过靶向作用过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体(peroxisome proliferator activated receptor,PPAR)家族成员调控猪肌内脂肪沉积,miR-34a、miR-17-5p和miR-125a-5p等通过靶向作用其他家族成员,如长链酯酰辅酶A合成酶4(acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4,ACSL4)、核受体共激活因子3(nuclear receptor coactivator 3,NCOA3)等来调控猪肌内脂肪沉积。然而miRNA调控猪肌内脂肪的具体作用机制尚不完全清楚,还需要进一步探究。作者通过梳理目前已经证实的与猪肌内脂肪沉积相关的miRNA,整理相关miRNA的靶基因以及主要作用通路,以期为筛选肌内脂肪相关miRNA提供参考,为改善肉质提供新的思路和策略,为阐明miRNA在猪脂质代谢中的作用机制提供参考。  相似文献

为了研究miRNA表达量与肉质风味表型指标的相关性,试验采用荧光定量PCR技术(Q-PCR)检测了4个猪种背最长肌中miR-27a和miR-378的差异表达。结果表明:背最长肌组织中2种miRNA的表达水平在4个猪种中趋于一致。相关性分析显示,2种miRNA在背最长肌中的表达水平与肌内脂肪含量和硫胺素含量呈正相关,与肌纤维直径、眼肌面积和瘦肉率呈负相关。表明miR-27a和miR-378对猪肉品质具有正调控作用,而对猪胴体品质具有负调控作用。该研究可为阐明miRNA在猪肌肉生长和脂肪沉积过程中的调控机制提供基础数据。  相似文献

miRNA是一类广泛存在于动植物中的内源性单链非编码RNA,长20~25 nt,通过与特异的靶mRNA结合在转录后水平调控基因表达。脂肪细胞是由前脂肪细胞分化并聚集脂滴形成,多种成脂基因参与其中。本实验旨在研究2个miRNA在分化后的3T3-L1脂肪细胞中表达量的变化,为进一步研究miRNA对脂肪细胞的调控打下基础。本试验使用"鸡尾酒"法诱导3T3-L1分化,在诱导细胞分化后0 d、2 d、4 d、6 d、8 d分别观察细胞形态并进行油红-O染色,同时采用q-PCR技术对3T3-L1细胞分化后5个时间点中的miR-103、miR-21进行相对定量,从而找出这些miRNA在3T3-L1前脂肪细胞分化中的动态变化。实验结果表明:随着诱导分化时间的增加,3T3-L1细胞逐渐由梭形变成圆形,且胞内出现脂环,说明细胞诱导分化成功;其次miRNA在脂肪细胞分化过程中表达量有不同程度的差异,miR-103表达量为先升高后降低,整体呈上升趋势;miR-21表达量为先急剧升高,后缓慢上升,也就是说这些miRNA对脂肪细胞的分化起到调控作用。  相似文献

1前言 转录后基因调控作为一种典型调控雌、雄性生殖细胞功能的调节机制,最近又联系到卵巢和睾丸的体细胞调控过程中.目前该领域的进展主要归功于miRNA的发现与研究.小RNA转录物能够通过转录后基因机制影响miRNA的表达.在卵巢中定向敲除Dicer 1 (miRNA生物发生过程中一类关键的酶),首次提供了有力的实验证据:miRNA在卵巢功能(卵泡生成、卵母细胞成熟、排卵及黄体功能)的诸多方面起着重要作用[1].miRNA的功能性研究主要聚焦在卵巢周期排卵的重要时刻促黄体生成素(LH)峰值时的颗粒细胞上.某些特定miRNA已经涉及到卵巢应答,有的通过LH峰值的转录诱导(如miR-21,miR-132,miR-212),有的通过生物信息学方法(miR-224,miR-17-5p,let-7b).卵巢体细胞组织中还富含着许多其他的miRNA,这表明我们对于卵巢功能调控中miRNA所起的作用仍然存在许多值得探索之处[2].  相似文献

ZEB1在细胞增殖分化中发挥关键作用,然而关于ZEB1在鸡胸肌细胞增殖分化过程中的功能及其与miRNA互作的研究极少。为探索miRNA如何通过靶向ZEB1参与调节鸡胸肌细胞增殖分化,实验检测了ZEB1在55周龄和20周龄鸡胸肌组织中的表达,使用Target Scan及miRDB在线软件预测鸡ZEB1基因的靶向miRNA,构建ZEB1野生型、突变型双荧光报告载体,并在DF1细胞中验证了ZEB1的靶向miRNA,双荧光素酶报告实验结果说明miR-200a通过特异性结合ZEB1 3'非编码区种子序列直接靶向并抑制ZEB1基因的表达。结果表明:由于miR-200a在55周龄鸡胸肌表达下调,对ZEB1的抑制作用减弱,导致ZEB1在55周龄固始鸡胸肌组织表达较20周龄显著升高(P0.01)。本研究首次在鸡上证明miR-200a是ZEB1的靶向miRNA,且miR-200a可能通过靶向ZEB1参与调节鸡胸肌细胞的增殖分化,为深入理解miRNAs在家禽及其他鸟类中的分子调节机制提供了基础与依据。  相似文献

ABSTRACT

1. Melanin content is considered an important indicator of meat quality in black-boned chickens, which have a high market value. To understand the complex physiological processes underlying muscle melanogenesis in this chicken, differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) were detected between black muscle (BM) and white muscle (WM) of chickens using high-throughput sequencing technology. Six small RNA libraries were constructed, and more than 16.75 million clean reads were obtained for each library.

2. A total of 582 known miRNAs and 65 novel miRNAs were identified from the six chicken sequence libraries. A total of 19 DEMs were identified between the two groups, of which nine were upregulated and 10 were downregulated. Furthermore, the DEMs were predicted to target 572 genes.

3. Certain DEMs (such as miR-204, miR-133b, and miR-12 229-3p) and their target genes may play an important role in muscle melanogenesis of chickens. These findings provide a foundation for clarifying the miRNA regulatory mechanisms involved in muscle pigmentation in avian species.  相似文献

We report on novel methods to isolate osteoclasts (OC s) and generate osteoclast-like cells (OCL s) from the bone and bone marrow of the equine femur. OC s were successfully isolated from bone scrapings taken from the endosteal surface of the femurs of three horses. OCL s were generated from bone marrow cells taken from the same animals. The validity of using the formation of OCL s as a method for studying OC differentiation and activity was confirmed by the similar characteristics of these two cells. In particular, they both were multinuclear, expressed the enzyme tartrate resistant acid phosphatase and the vitronectin receptor. Most importantly, both were able to resorb bone as demonstrated by the formation of extensive resorption pits when cultured on dentine slices.The generation of OCL s from bone marrow obtained from the equine femur can therefore be used to study equine OC differentiation and for studies requiring the generation of large numbers of these cells. OC s isolated directly from the same bones may be used to examine the effect of a variety of factors on bone resorption in vitro and to continually reaffirm the validity of using OCL s for large-scale studies on OC biology. Such research is essential for improved understanding of bone turnover and endochondral ossification in the horse.  相似文献

The epididymis is the site of post-testicular sperm maturation, which constitutes the acquisition of sperm motility and the ability to recognize and fertilize oocytes. The role of miRNA in male reproductive system, including the control of different steps leading to proper fertilization such as gametogenesis, sperm maturation and maintenance of male fertility where the deletion of Dicer in mouse germ cells led to infertility, has been demonstrated. The identification of miRNA expression in a region-specific manner will therefore provide valuable insight into the functional differences between the regions of the epididymis. In this study, we employed RNA-seq technology to explore the expression pattern of miRNAs and establish some miRNAs of significant interest with regard to epididymal sperm maturation in the CY epididymis. We identified a total of 431 DE known miRNAs; 119, 185 and 127 DE miRNAs were detected for caput versus corpus, corpus versus cauda and caput versus cauda region pairs, respectively. Our results demonstrate region-specific miRNA expression in the CY epididymis. The GO and KEGG enrichment for the predicted target genes indicated the functional values of miRNAs. Furthermore, we observed that the expression of miR-200a was downregulated in the caput, compared with cauda. Since the family of miR-200 has previously been suggested to contribute to the distinct physiological function of sperm maturation in epididymis of adult rat, we speculate that the downregulation of miR-200a in CY caput epididymis may play an important role of sperm maturation in the epididymis of CY. Therefore, our findings may not only increase our understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulated by the miRNA functions in region-specific miRNA expression in the CY epididymis, it could provide a valuable information to understand the mechanism of male infertility of CY.  相似文献

To investigate 1α,25-(OH)2D3 regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) protein expression during osteoclast formation and differentiation, receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) were administered to induce the differentiation of RAW264.7 cells into osteoclasts. The cells were incubated with different concentrations of 1α,25-(OH)2D3 during culturing, and cell proliferation was measured using the methylthiazol tetrazolium method. Osteoclast formation was confirmed using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and assessing bone lacunar resorption. MMP-9 protein expression levels were measured with Western blotting. We showed that 1α,25-(OH)2D3 inhibited RAW264.7 cell proliferation induced by RANKL and M-CSF, increased the numbers of TRAP-positive osteoclasts and their nuclei, enhanced osteoclast bone resorption, and promoted MMP-9 protein expression in a concentration-dependent manner. These findings indicate that 1α,25-(OH)2D3 administered at a physiological relevant concentration promoted osteoclast formation and could regulate osteoclast bone metabolism by increasing MMP-9 protein expression during osteoclast differentiation.  相似文献

Relatively little is known about the physiological roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) during follicular development. Previous evidence from in vitro studies suggests specific roles for a subset of miRNAs, including miR-21, miR-23a, miR-145, miR-503, miR-224, miR-383, miR-378, miR-132, and miR-212, in regulating ovarian follicle development. The objective of this study was to gain insight on the involvement of these miRNAs during follicle maturation. Follicular fluid was aspirated from dominant follicles (>32 mm) during the ovulatory season (July to October) and the anovulatory season (January to March) in each of 5 mares, and the levels of steroids, IGF1, and miRNAs were analyzed by immunoassays and quantitative PCR. Levels of progesterone, testosterone, and IGF1 were lower (P ≤ 0.05) in anovulatory than in ovulatory follicles. Relative to ovulatory follicles, anovulatory follicles had higher (P < 0.05) mean levels of miR-21, miR-23b, miR-378, and miR-202 and tended to have higher (P = 0.06) levels of miR-145. Levels of miR-224 and miR-383 could not be detected in follicular fluid. These novel results indicate a physiological association between increases in follicular miRNA levels and seasonal anovulation in mares; further studies should elucidate the precise involvement of miR-21, miR-23b, miR-145, miR-378, and miR-202 in follicle maturation in the mare.  相似文献
